Well I for sure agree with that, and look at baseball, something no one even watches. Where does that money come from?

Yes, NFL players are well paid. However, there are very few that play for over ten years. The average is 3.3 years.
Back up QBs and place kickers are the exception.

I personally know two ex NFL players. They both had careers after the NFL.

Keep in mind that 50% of NFL players are broke five years after leaving the league. Even though every NFL player is given financial advise as soon as they are signed.

Their pay is stupendous but for whatever reason, pro sports in the USA has metastasized into a monstrous entity that brings in massive amounts of money. The players are the reason the owners make so much and I think they should share in the wealth, even if it seems to be obscenely high.
